This is a video explanation that complements the text version in the manual here: github.com/dalathegreat/LeafEnhancer-UserManual#glide-in-drive-%EF%B8%8F

This feature is available for all CAN-bridge owners running some type of Dala's firmware!


When enabled, 'Glide in Drive' removes regenerative braking. This can be useful for hypermiling (avoid regen on highway, it's only 80% effective) or when doing service to friction brakes, and you want to check for noise/evenness (hard when regen takes over).

Glide in drive can be enabled by shifting from D-N. After this shift, the D mode will have no regenerative braking. You will get a visual confirmation on the dashboard when you enter this mode, the outer capacity bars will momentarily only show 2 bars. To re-enable the regenerative braking, simply do another D-N shift. The capacity bars will display as 4x when the mode is exited.


A word of caution
This is an extreme hypermiling mod. Glide in drive will make your vehicle rely entirely on the friction brakepads, just as a regular car. The car will slow down extremely little when you let off the accelerator pedal. This can be quite a shock for some drivers, so be prepared. Dala's EV Repair cannot be held responsible for any dangerous situations/damages caused by using this feature.
